Who: The Adults Of Aldrip
Where: A handy dandy bar!
What: Claude has collaborated with one of the local bar-owners to host a Chosen-only night for the adults of Aldrip to have a nice night away from the prying eyes of locals.
Warnings: Alcohol, drug-use, grown men making embarrassments of themselves, potential hand-holding.
Welcome one and all to a place where the Chosen are able to unbutton that top button, sit back, and relax, free of the badgering eyes of locals, and able to mingle amongst like minds! Your local Apothecarist, Claude von Riegan, came up with this idea with one of the local bar-owners as a good way to drum up business amidst the Chosen for a place for the Chosen and the Chosen alone to be able to shed some of that weight they've been carrying. Claude himself has made no secret of the fact that he's the one who put this shindig together, openly advertising it as something of his own creation, a community building effort for everyone to bond with one another in a context in which they're not forced to do so by threat of death or imprisonment.
For this evening, liquor has been put out for the Chosen to serve themselves, and runs freely enough that everyone will be able to drink their fill, though there's a table at the back of the room laden with all sorts of bar snacks to help fill people's bellies and soak up some of that liquor; flatbreads and fried delights, a generous selection of meats and cheeses, and confections enough to satisfy even the most demanding sweet tooth.
Along the south end of the bar there are a collection of booths, far enough away from the booming sound system to be able to chat quietly amongst themselves, if you're the more retiring sort and would just like to have a nice talk over a pint or two. In this area, you may also find a few hookahs at your disposal, filled with tobacco or hashish, courtesy of Claude himself -- though he hasn't shied away from cheekily including business cards at each table, advertising his place of business should you wish to purchase teas, salves, potions, and yes, all manner of smokable delights.
In the centre of the establishment, chairs and tables have been cleared away to make room for dancing, if you so please, with the sound system at the Chosen's disposal if they want to pump up the beats or put on a slow song to rock to and fro with a honey or two (or three?).
Lastly, there's a brand new karaoke machine that's been installed along the far east corner of the room, in case anyone would like to thoroughly embarrass themselves. What do you mean, you're a good singer? Then get out of here! You should know by now that that's not what the spirit of karaoke is about!
If there's anything else you would like added, dear player -- just write it in, and it's yours! Whatever can feasibly fit into a bar, you can assume it's present for all and sundry to enjoy.

[ If she weren't wallflowering it up right now, she would probably find a place by her side. The bar isn't her usual haunt, but Claude looks in his element. From the other side of the room Marianne watches him surrounded by people, navigating the social scene effortlessly. She feels like a fish out of water in comparison. ]
What about you?
[ She turns to Rafal. She still finds his world puzzling, to be honest. ]
no subject
[ that being said, he knows veyle enjoys them. going to pandreo's parties, helping people. alear too. nel is a little more distant, but she could be coaxed into this situation.
rafal is . . . he puts it aside. ]
I probably should not linger any longer than I have to.
no subject
[ Marianne covers her mouth with her hand in her surprise. A divine dragon, like those in the legends? For a moment, she looks at a loss for words. ]
Um, I'm sure you're welcome to stay. If you don't mind being among us.
[ Aldrip drew inhabitants of all kinds, and this was a gathering to build connections with others, so why not with a dragon? ]
no subject
[ a pause. he has no strong distaste towards people. he just . . . doesn't spend much time around them until recently. ]
I do not mind. Why would I?
no subject
[ The scriptures of her world never mentioned dragons could disguise as humans. Little does she know she's already acquainted with a dragon hidden among men. ]
You said you were used to being worshipped, so I wondered what you think of us.
no subject
[ even sombron, who barely looks human, has to manage with hands and feet. he would never fit into humanity the way he is though. ]
I do not have strong opinions on humans. They live short, fleeting lives. My sister is more fond of them than I am.
no subject
[ She sounds surprised, but perhaps it's not so strange that dragons, like many other species, would have families of their own. ]
It's good that you have family to keep you company.
[ A long life seems rather lonely, otherwise. ]
no subject
Yes. An . . . older sister named Nel.
We are always together.
no subject
It must be difficult to be separated from her. Unless...I don't suppose she's here, too?
no subject
[ and it's strange. to be parted again so soon after recovering her. but nel will be all right. she'll be happy where she is. and they'll find each other again. ]
But it is fine. I will see her again someday.
no subject
[ Marianne smiles softly. She dearly hopes the two siblings will be reunited again. ]
no subject
It will take more than a different world to separate us.
